Hello to All,

I'd like to print a report with big font (10 CPI) as landscape report.
When I display it with the default printer display "D" the report will shown in portait orientation.

To force landscape orientation I've created a new "report size" parameter in session ttadv3540m000 with length "-1", width "132" and font "Big (10 cpi)".
I've inserted it into the report size parameter of the report properties. Additionally in the report layouts for header and details I've changed the window size to 132 column width.
But the landscape orientation was not displayed. Only the font was reduced in the layout still shown in portrait mode.
For the display printer "D" only the display length was set to "66". No other format parameters was set. And I know from other reports, that landscape orientation was possible to display with printer "D" for smaller font (17,1 CPI).

What I've missed to do?
Or maybe should I use some spool variables inside the report to force landscape mode? For example spool.orientation = 2 (for landscape). I've still inserted this variable in the before.program section inside the report script, but also no landscape format was forced.

Thanks for help in advance and
Best Regards
Bernd

Hi,

Can you try with these device settings -

Device - PDFL
Name - Landscape PDF
Device Type - Rewrite file
Intermediate File in XML Format - Yes
Argument - XML -PDFL:acrord32.exe %s
Change Output File Allowed - Yes
Page Length - 0

See if that works.

Hi Bhushan,

yes that works fine, see attachment.
But I'd like to get this for the display screen. Is that also available?

Best Regards Bernd
